He added that the markets is for the exchange of agricultural products cautioning that other activities are not permitted for trading.  

According to him, the market will be the third to be built and set up in the Akinyele local government and it is solely for traders and farmers, not for mechanic shops or other business than farm products. 

While keeping the road in good condition is crucial for the market to thrive, Lawal promised that Governor Makinde will also make the road market very easy for customers to reach.

He equally stressed on the need for peace in the market while stating that it serves a variety of tribes in addition to Yoruba and Hausa, since Nigeria is a circular country. He urged the marketers to make sure that they uphold peace in the market and ensure that everyone live with love.
